Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of IOGEAR 5-Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 PCI Card GIC251U
Customer Review: Great item, great price
Summary: 5 Stars
This USB 2.0 card is fantastic. It's a 4+1 card, 4 external 1 internal port. Put this in an older Dell that only had USB 1 ports because it took hours upon hours to sync an ipod. With this card we were able to sync 15 GB in about 1/2 hour. Easy install, windows XP found the drivers for it without any problems. took all of 10 minutes to open the cover, put the card in, put the cover back on, and boot up the machine. Highly recommendedCustomer Review: A caution about using with external hard drives
Summary: 4 Stars
Card interfaces well with printers and most devices, but I experienced very slow disk writing to external USB hard drives, particularly with large files. I am an advanced user who installed this card as a USB 2.0 upgrade in a very stabile Dell 733 running a perfect copy of Win 2000. Intermittent unexplainable write delays using the Iogear card. The same drive works fine in the motherboard's USB 1.1 ports (but not at USB 2.0speed).Customer Review: Works great in my Dell Dimension 8200
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little worried about putting this card in my PC as a couple other reviewers had problems with card recognition in a Dimension. However, this card worked great for me on the first try, I am very happy with it. However, the fact that it is called 5-port is a little deceiving, it actually has 4 external ports, and one internal port which is completely useless for me. Other than that I would have given 5 stars.Customer Review: Good price, easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this after connecting a new printer and seeing a message that I was connecting a hi-speed device with a standard connection (also purchased a USB2 printer cable). Installing it into my Dell Dimension with Windows XP SP2 was a snap. I now have both the new printer and an older one connected to it so it is backwards compatible as claimed. Basically, install it and forget about it. Couldn't be easier.Customer Review: Works like a charm with Vista OS
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought a custom-ordered HP machine with Vista. It only came with 4 USB 2.0 ports in the back, and I'm loaded with at least 6 USB 2.0 accessories full-time, so I ordered this Iogear card based on the positive reviews here. Popped the card in, plugged in all my accessories, turned on the PC, and viola! Everything works perfectly so far! No downloading of drivers necessary. Works great! Definitely recommend!
